Property discription was very misleading. Access to the beach was through another locked property. The bottom step was too high above the beach to allow access. The beach was only accessible during low tide. The unit was deplorable! The grout was black with dirt! The bathroom window frame was disgusting! The baseboards were filthy! The blinds had gaping holes that did not allow for privacy or to block light. The bedroom dresser was filthy! There was a live roach.This was my first experience with VRBO and I doubt I will take another chance.

Our stay at starfish stays was exactly what we needed to start summer off. Manasota key is a beautiful community. The accommodations were amazing and just fed the beach vibe we needed. We live in Jacksonville but I grew up on the gulf in a similar community and it was perfect. The amenities at starfish were great. I wish we were staying longer to partake in all of them. All the beaches are a short drive or bike ride away. The key is golf cart and bike friendly. We walked to the private beach and it was very easy to navigate to. The only problem we had was we tried to go later in the day and the tide was already coming in so there was not much beach and the steps to the beach were about a foot to a little over a foot off the beach, but this very common due to tides and erosion of sand and the wood or metal due to salt water in beach communities. Just something to be mindful. If that doesn’t work for you… thankfully you’re on a key do there is beaches all over that are amazing. The room we stayed (as well as the others at Starfish) has a couple beach chairs and umbrellas, floats, tubes and towels… as well as one of my favorite things I forgot myself, each room has strainers outside by the steps to be used for shells or shark teeth hunting. If that’s what you’re there for be mindful of the tides again… low tide is best but you can still find plenty of shells and teeth at all beaches just know the water is coming in and more waves will be crashing on the shore.

Everything overall was good, disappointed that the beach access across the street was closed so the nearest beach was a couple miles away.

Overall, the property was great. I wish they gave a little better description on how to get to the beach. Cause there's 2 gates at the entrance way. When is the car gate with a code into the right is a small walk and gate with another keypad which we didn't know.but great place i would stay again

The property and owner were amazing and we would recommend/ return!! Everything is nearby and the beach is beautiful. We stayed on the ground level apartment, and it was comfortable for our family of 4 1 dog. Scot (owner) was super helpful and extremely responsive to questions.

This property was well stocked for our four night stay! We had everything we needed to whip up a few meals and big enough fridge for snacks/leftovers/drinks. The property was across the street and along a short residential path to access the beach. We appreciated having a couple of chairs and beach accessories readily available at the property too. Pull out mattress was comfy! Thank you!

Pros - location and price Cons - cleanliness, coffee maker didn’t work, first floor unit ( we had small kids above us, we left a day early because of it ) pull out bed was dirty ( trash and fake nails ) Overall, we would probably come back but consider a top unit due to noise. Location was nice with the private beach.

Very nice and clean. Great place to stay with our dog. Easy driving distance to Brohard dog beach and easy walking distance to local restaurants. Only negatives were too few electrical outlets and lamps. Very well appointed otherwise. Only a few black bugs, not bad for southern climate. We would definitely stay here again.

Apt was what we expected, clean and stocked with all we needed in kitchen gadgets. Everything worked. Towels were extra fluffy. It was a short walk to the beach and despite the storm damage the beach was nice for walking. Questionable about dogs being on the beach but we had ours and only one person said anything. Fun restaurants are just a few miles from apt. We liked Manasota Key!

We stayed for a couple nights and were beyond pleased! We were looking for a simple place close to the beach (a place that we could just shower and sleep at). We found it at Starfish Stays! I wish that we would’ve had more time to use the corn hole and pergola areas. Wonderful updated room, kind-helpful property manager, and perfect location! Next time we will stay longer!!!
